Also, is there something better than in-reply-to that we can do? A redent is not logically a reply - it's a forward. It would be great if replies and forwards could be distinguished in the database by more than a Unicode character as a convention. (See <http://danbri.org/words/2009/06/16/415 >.)
Hmm…does "repeated" (or maybe "repeats") make sense here? Using in- reply-to as I've done in my experiment branch[0 successfully creates a "conversation" thread within StatusNet like replies do and I *think* it's possible to track a series of notices in both directions if a re- shared notice just uses in-reply-to the one it's sharing, but I'm not sure.

Resharing, furthermore, is really the same thing as forwarding an email, and it should be treated as such. It just has a different name because the recipient is largely unknown (whereas in an email, you must select your recipients).
Do email messages contain some kind of "this was a forwarded message" header other than the conventional "Fwd: " prefix for a subject line? I'm not aware of something like this, but it's an interesting thought experiment to try to imagine the reverse of whatever reality is and see how the pieces fit together for OpenMicroBlogging.
